I STILL HAVE HOPE FOR GOOG AFTER THIS NEWS: >Cathie Wood-led ARK Investment Management made two contrarian technology stock bets on Wednesday – >buying shares of Meta Platforms Inc. (META) and offloading Alphabet Inc.(GOOGL) on the same day. ARK Invest sold 72,803 GOOGL shares through its ARKK ETF and also offloaded an additional 11,589 GOOGL shares via its ARKW ETF.

I think it's because with the tech stock boom, ARKW recovered well.

Jerseyguy2345

ARKK, ARKW, and I believe maybe some others have outperformed SPY on a 10 year basis

ARKW and ARKQ and ARKK all have a lot of Broadcom instead of a Qualcomm I think. ARK Invest is the managing company

Looking for something to buy and saw NFLX all beat up. Wanted to buy but then saw that ARKW is buying and Cramer called it a buy. Guess I will keep looking. Not buying any of this shit that is already way up and not buying anything that Cramer is calling a buy. UNH also looks okay.

> ARK Blockchain And Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:ARKF) and ARKW funds collectively acquired 36,638 shares of ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BTS: ARKB) on the same day. The total transaction, worth around $1.08 million, comes amid a turbulent period for the cryptocurrency market.

Electronic-Buyer-468

Very reluctantly, yes. Small allocation in my tech sleeve. It's a global fund by a big backer ( QTUM ). It has performed well. I hold it in the same weight as another global tech fund: ( IXN. ) I highly despise most narrow thematic plays like this, but after much research, I grabbed a little piece. I use a 5 or 6 ticker mix of tech funds for that particular sector ( QTUM, IXN, ARKW, TRFK, SMH). I run multiple FOF portfolios, so the goal is to hold the core forever, and actively trade the satellites. Each portfolio has a different risk/volatility goal. It is the only thing that works for me. But yes I know its complicated and ultimately stupid.

ARKW  did really well this year. I but years in between rallies are brutal on her funds. I don’t treat her funds as a long hold. 

allbutluk

You will know her soon if you hold ARKW

Montaigne314

ETFs are the way to go for sure I shoulda put more into ARKW back in the day, instead I put 1k into it and other money into a variety of WSB suggestions, the only WSB suggestion that popped off for me was palantir, go in at 24 out at 140 Plenty of them straight up tanked big-time

Yes, stick to **ETFs**! That's a lesson I've taught myself over and over through the years, but this time I really mean it! I JUST got done typing this up to my sister, 2 years younger than my 62, so I'll paste it here in case it's of any use to you. Best of luck to you! x-x-x-x Divide your money into 5 ETFs equally.  ETFs are safer than individual stocks. So each position will get a 20% allocation. **Gold** will have a permanent slot, using the ETFs **GLD** or **IAU**. **US Treasury bonds** will have a permanent slot.  **TLT** for that (which are 20-year Treasuries). Then I'll choose 3 others based on recent 3 to 6-month performance. Right now tonight, those might be: **MCHI, ARKW, NLR** Check them after a month, run a new scan, and replace any that are underperforming.   To get you a little bit excited about that, here's a chart of **NLR** over the past 6 months:  [https://imgur.com/a/pDWXDzD](https://imgur.com/a/pDWXDzD) 64% in 6 months. And sure, it might not do that for the *next* 6 months, but it should keep going up for a while. And when it *stops* going up, you find something else that *is* going up. Here's a 3-month view of **GLD** and **TLT**: [https://imgur.com/a/n8tI3u0](https://imgur.com/a/n8tI3u0) They're in the mix not so much for their gains, but for a bit of protection, because they usually move the opposite way as the market, especially when the market moves down hard and fast.

I also bought ARKK and ARKW in 2021. I convinced my wife to let me invest our emergency fund. Lost 40% of it. I was sick to my stomach. Finally, last year I decided to sell it and take the L. I’ve since recovered the 40% and am now up 20%.

No_Series4815

My portfolio is currently split with about 30% in VT, 10% in IGF, 10% in IEMG, 3% in GUNR, 15% in MTUM, 5% in VNQ, 10% in GLD, 15% in QQQ, 1% in EWX, and 1% in ARKW. I’d recommend putting this in ChatGPT just ask it to analyse it when it performs when it struggles through different economic situations and pros and cons of this then make a opinion

Cathie Woods bought 60K shares of FIG. The entire purchase was allocated to the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:ARKW). Draw your own conclusions.

Cathie added Figma to ARKW

Accord-ing_25_Tim

So I’ve used ChatGPT in a loosely similar manner, and the complexity of the prompt (plus deep level follow on conversation) is what really helps drill down to what you’re looking for. Based on a lengthy discussion about thesis, aggressiveness, convictions, etc, I asked it to recommend 10 stocks to round out exposure in key areas, and it recommended BLK, COIN, VRTX, REGN, NTLA, CRSP, SNOW, PDYN, SMR, and ARKW ETF. I made purchases of three of these and I’m up ~40% since.

neofatalist

Not a big fan of Cathy Wood but QQQM seems safer. ARKW has a lot of crypto exposure, if you are into that maybe thats more for you.

If I have a Roth 100% in FXAIX, what would be the better aggressive tech fund to pair it with - QQQM or ARKW?

theinkdon

I have a watchlist of non-leveraged ETFs on Barchart that I scan occasionally, so I just now took a look. I sorted by 52-week performance, then looked at the Mini-Chart View on a 5-year scale. Not that I'm looking for a good 5y trend, but a good year or two trend, and the 5y view tends to smooth things out. Some that look good to me, in no particular order: ARKW, ARKF, ONLN (very low volume though), FNGS, XLF, XLC Take a look at their charts and see what you think. And when you buy an ETF (or stock), put a Trailing Stop Loss order on it, maybe 10%. Buy them when they're doing well, sell them when they stop, that kind of thing.

I like Cathy's ETF(ARKW). Tesla, PLTR, Roku, Shop, HOOD looks good

AnselmoDiMedici

Somehow ARKW is up nearly 100% in the past 12 months, ARKK up 50% in the last 12 months as is ARKX, though ARKG is all over the place..... So perhaps 6 months on this conversation needs to reconsider?

zen_and_artof_chaos

I averaged down on ARKW and I'm up 110%. Could be worse.

apothekary

Never got that. Used to own ARKW for shits and giggles and just seeing Roku near the top of her holdings then when it's supposed to be an innovation fund - cutting edge shit, not some boomer way of streaming. And I actually think they're among the best in its price range (better than Chromecast generally) for their customer base. Just a totally unexciting stock. It was that realization that made me sell out of it. If she actually picked more truly wild/exciting innovation plays I guess her etf might have tanked even harder, but man if I'm allocating a few %s to some serious side moon bets it better not be to an ETF whose (one of) biggest holding is freaking Roku.

Avireya1

If you trade in and out of Ark funds,esp ARKW when small cap stocks are doing well, ie interest rates are lower or are believed to be going lower. Then you can get very good money….I have. I’d be pissed if the world convinces Cathy to stop. Course I like QQQ and SCHG as well (and biotech stocks)

I thought I could go in calls today but nah: On Monday local time, Cathie Wood's Ark Investment Management continued to buy stocks of cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, which fell for two consecutive days due to a massive outage, with a cumulative decline of 23%. Two Ark funds, ARKF and ARKW, under Ark Investment, purchased a total of 20,219 shares of CrowdStrike's stocks that day. Based on the closing price of $263.91 that day, the investment is worth about $5.34 million. After the outage last Friday, two Ark ETFs purchased 38,595 shares of CrowdStrike's stocks, worth approximately $13.24 million

pelek1

Cathie Wood is the best investment strategist of all time (GOAT). Oh no, I think I am wrong.... Wood sold every Nvidia from the portfolio before it skyrocketed, and left shits in the portfolio like Roku. Mainly this is the reason why ARKW is far lagging. For me the main reason was not to invest into any ARK ETF was the composition of portfolios. She made a huge bet in 2020, and still wasn't able to understand that times have changed. Post-covid investments were replaced by AI, but she is not willing to understand it, she simply ignores it. Which is a huge professional mistake.

nightslikethese29

I bought ARKW right at its ATH and I feel fortunate that I sold it all in the 120s. Put that money into a combo of qqq and tqqq and haven't looked back

AP9384629344432

Underperformance is one thing, but ARKW and even more so ARKK have been left in the dust by the S&P 500 or NASDAQ. Even international stocks are beating ARKK over the last 5 years. We're talking +83% vs -7% (SPY vs. ARK) or +83% vs. +50% (ARKW). And they don't have the excuse of 'Well, we tilted international and that needs a few more years to play out' or 'We went long energy.' They went long tech stocks and somehow managed to lose money as the NASDAQ goes on a massive bull run.

JonKneeThen

Ahhh you bought in February 2021 also? I’ve got a 134 coat basis for ARKW and a 112 for ARKG.

literal chatGPT (horrifying suggestions) --------------------------------------------------- If you're seeking an alternative to the BOXX ETF, you might want to consider looking into other exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that focus on similar areas or themes. BOXX ETF, as of my last update, primarily focuses on companies involved in the blockchain technology space. Here are a few alternatives you could explore: BLOK - Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF: BLOK is an ETF that invests in companies involved in blockchain technologies and digital assets. BLCN - Siren Nasdaq NexGen Economy ETF: This ETF seeks to track the performance of the Siren Blockchain Economy Index, which includes companies involved in blockchain technology, including cryptocurrencies, exchanges, miners, and more. LEGR - First Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction & Process ETF: LEGR tracks an index of companies that generate revenue or are expected to generate revenue from innovative applications of blockchain technology. It focuses not only on pure-play blockchain companies but also on those integrating blockchain into their operations. ARKW - ARK Next Generation Internet ETF: While not solely focused on blockchain, ARKW invests in companies leading disruptive innovation in sectors like cloud computing, big data, and blockchain technology. KOIN - Capital Link NextGen Protocol ETF: KOIN is an ETF that aims to track the performance of the Innovation Labs Blockchain Innovators Index, providing exposure to companies that are at the forefront of blockchain technology. Before investing in any ETF, make sure to thoroughly research its holdings, investment strategy, expenses, and performance to ensure it aligns with your investment goals and risk tolerance.

Don’t listen to the naysayers. Had you done this 5 years ago you would be VASTLY further ahead than the folks who held VOO that same time. I did a similar thing a few years back. Took about 10% of my retirement investment and individualized. I based my 10 on what companies I thought would be major backbones of the economy/technology/digital infrastructure 20 years from now. Basically, what companies could be running the world in 20 years. My 10 picks were: Apple Amazon ARKW GBTC Google Netflix Tesla Home Depot Walmart Kroger This was before Covid, before the AI boom and before Bitcoin ETF’s. Picking today my mix would be: Apple Amazon Google Home Depot Kroger Netflix Nvidia Tesla Walmart FBTC

philodox

Didn't take anything out of the market. Increased our investment rates by nearly double knowing things would bounce back. DCA on the way down and on the way back up.  For a time reallocated some into ARKK and ARKW thinking it would bubble and pop (it did) and got lucky with the timing on both sides.  Allocated more to big tech, mostly MSFT and NVDA. Also got lucky there.  Nearly all has been shifted back to VTI except for about 30% still in MSFT/NVDA (need to rebalance).  Last 3 years beat S&P by 105%.  Due to continued investment and not taking anything out, along with lucky timing and bets we are doing ok. I wouldn't have done much differently except not taken the ARK ride. Too much daily checking of tickers and news, not good for my mental health even though we came out positive.  The big part is to not be fearful when everyone is. Stare it in the face and go harder. If it really is the end of the world then none of matters anyway lol.

5 year returns on various names.... ARKK- 7.06% DIS- 8.023% ARKW- 61.05% VOO- 83.6% (plus dividends) CEIX- 135% QQQ- 146% CNQ-173% (plus dividends) AMR- 443% I'm starting to think there's more to good business and stock picking than 'innovation'. Also an interesting note for the day, the S&P500 currently has an earnings yield of 4.295%. The 10 year treasury is sitting at 4.22%. There is essentially a 0% risk premium in the S&P500 right now. I'm not predicting anything from that, and I know the arguments about why P/E is a poor metric for that index. For reference the earnings yield of RSP (equal weight index) is about 4.72%, so there is a bit of a risk premium there.

OkDiver6272

I get it. I did the same thing about 5 years ago. Had a solid base in my 401k but wanted to see what I could do with some “fun money”. I picked 10 stocks/ETF’s and put $1k in each, with the idea that if one went 10x, the other 9 could all go bankrupt and I’d still come out even. My initial picks were AAPL, AMZN, KR, GOOG, NFLX, HD, TSLA, COIN, ARKW, GBTC.

AP9384629344432

[The only decent performing one seems to be ARKW](https://i.imgur.com/o4P1UWs.png). It did 18% since inception. Just for fun I plugged it into Portfolio Viz going back to inception. [Link](https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio?s=y&sl=5Z7npHqiLDIkhZmhvX6zmr). And [it turns out to basically match the QQQ](https://i.imgur.com/2ApTbZ2.png). My point is you can basically achieve ARK-style returns with way more diversification by just buying the NASDAQ, without the management fees and extreme volatility/

> There is still some lesser known ARKQ and ARKW I literally never said it was exclusive to ARKK. You did. I said the ARK funds (which include ARKQ and ARKW) held NVIDIA. You said she sold ALL Nvidia, which is categorically false, and it seems you’re now backpedaling instead of just admitting you made an obvious mistake

bagel_maker974

ARKK, ARKG and ARKW Victim here. Sold them all and never looked back. I would have had to hold like 5-10 years for that to claw back what I lost in it. For that timeline I would much rather put the money elsewhere. When I Initially invested I was ready to ride it out for 15 years but its important to keep an open mind and re-asses investments as things progress.

Best way to slightly increase my savings from now till the end of this year? Hi, I’m relatively new to investing and I currently have about $500 (I know, not much) invested in different stocks/ETFs, mainly in the tech sector (NVDA, AMD, INTC, ARKW, SOXL) and VOO, QQQ. What do you guys think is the best strategy to either increase my savings by a little bit (above inflation/currency devaluation levels) or by a bigger amount (>10% gains). I’m 22, from Chile and my income is a little side job that gives like $40 a month. The money is for a trip at EoY so I can’t afford to lose more than $100. Thank you :)

googlyeyegritty

True, ARKK or ARKW deserve a spot on a list of high risk, potentially high reward ETFs.

Juicet

One of ARK’s rules is that no single holding should exceed 10%.  [Looks] like coinbase is close to 10% on ARKK. Which means she has to sell it, by their own rules (but not legal ones). She has mentioned it before - like when GBTC exceeded 10% of ARKW’s portfolio, she sold.

D_crane

Not really, the people who buy ARKW are - it's not her money she's gambling with and she collects fees either way

freehouse_throwaway

Every time I see ARK I have to share one of my favorite Cathie swing trades in [PDD](https://cathiesark.com/ark-combined-holdings-of-pdd): * Buys the "dip" at $120-$140 * Sold most of it at an L at $80 * Rebought dip at $95-$100 * Sold all for a major L at $50 PDD is at $140 ish right now I actually added ARKW eons ago as I figured its similar to the growth/cloud/tech crap that I buy but then I saw her trades and was horrified. Yeah I can lose money on my own, thankyouverymuch.

Cathie Wood Buys Palantir Stock Buying on the dip can be a risky strategy. But that was not enough to scare off Ark Invest Chief Executive Cathie Wood, who piled into **Palantir Technologies** ([**PLTR**](https://research.investors.com/quote.aspx?symbol=PLTR)) stock on Friday. Ark Invest's flagship ARK Innovation ETF ([**ARKK**](https://research.investors.com/quote.aspx?symbol=ARKK)) snapped up more than 777,000 shares. Not only that, the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF ([**ARKW**](https://research.investors.com/quote.aspx?symbol=ARKW)) bought nearly 154,000 shares. It immediately paid off, with PLTR ending the day up 4.4%.

robertw477

I will tell you a great TSLA story. I know the guy but not personally or friends. Years ago when TSLA went IPO this guy bought thousands of shares. I cannot remember the amount exactly. During the pandemic at near peak value of TSLA he said I had a great run and need to lighten up on TSLA. I think he said he was to liquidate all and invest with this great money manager. ALL in that is on her funds. His TSLA holdings worth 10 million in 12/2020. These are the funds he bought. 2 million bucks per fund. ARKG - +427% in last 5 years ARKF - +153% in last 5 years ARKW - +553% in last 5 years ARKK - +551% in last 5 years ARKQ - +305% in last 5 years They call that Schadenfreude. However this guy is a big player. I mean mega. Multi millions in cars, real estate etc. He can handle the financial sting. But everyone thought his as a stock picking genius. What it was it, luck, and the ability to handle the losses if that TSLA sotck he originally bought went to zero. He didnt see a single share until 2020. He bought all those funds at all time highs and all destroyed. I assume he still holds them. He is not the kind of guy to give up. Even worse there is do much overlap in that hot dung that if one of them worked out, most likely they all would.

parostellar

When to exit ARK positions? I started investing in early 2020, so I'm fairly new to investing. During the time I bought a bunch of ARK positions including ARKW, ARKF etc. sometime in 2021/22 timeframe I sold off the positions to limit losses on gains. And rebought at a lower price which has since then made significant losses (I'm at about 10K in total losses just on ARKW and ARKF since 2022, so net net I might be on much lower losses overall). At this point, I'm wondering if it makes sense to keep holding the bags or cut further losses and rather reinvest in a ETF with lower costs, and diversified portfolio like VTI or such? Over the years I've realized that active investing is not my cup of tea, I don't have the time and rather investing in larger index funds like SPY, VTI is more suited for long term gains. But looking to hear opinions from Reddit experts whether to hold or sell?

Anxious_Protection40

I’d get into ARKK or ARKW. These aren’t really lottery tickets, but they are high risk high reward etfs.

Any_Smell_9339

ARKW - it’s down 72.14% and I don’t see it coming back.

SirGlass

I mean people also forget how popular it was even in this sub like 3 years ago. I swear there was post after post like Rate my portfolio 30% ARKK 30% ARKW 40% QQQ or the ever fun "Is index investing dead, why would I buy an index fund that returns 7-9% when I can buy ARKK and make 20% ?" Or the ever fun. "Is there any reason why not to allocate 100% to tech/growth stocks?" I swear this FOMO happens over and over in 10 years everyone will forget and jump on the latest high growth ETF that post impressive returns in the bull market and inevitably buy in at the top

MayaIsSunshine

It is important to note that not all ETFs are created equally. I read this advice over and over again, and put a lot of money into Cathie Wood's ARK stocks, mostly ARKG and ARKW, and I lost as much as OP. Don't just invest in ETFs as a whole, but tried and true index funds. I desperately wish I could go back and have this advice, but I'm paying for my mistake and will move on. Unfortunately, this experience led me to stop investing in anything and just hoard my cash in savings which I know is also a bad idea, but I have separation anxiety with my money and the market now...

“According to Wood’s daily disclosures, the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF ARKW sold just over $1 million in Nvidia stock on Tuesday.” $1M who cares?

SirGlass

> why more experienced investors stick with ETFs So ARKK and ARKW? I think you mean broad market index funds. It annoys me when people say just invest in ETFs , there are 10000s of ETFs and some of them are highly concentrated and might not be suitable just because they are organized by as an ETF

Slow and steady wins the race. How’s ARKW working out.

Yeah, it's weird that it's really not brought up much. You still need to pay the income tax part of it, but I basically had a traditional and a roth from two different roll overs of 401K's. Basically lucked out by buying a ton of ARKW like in 2016 and sold in the mania of 2020.

ARKW up 43% YTD and ARKF up 41% YTD. It’s all a matter of timing and selling some every time a stock or fund doubles.

ARKW doubled between March and July 2020 and doubled again doubled again by Jan 2021. I sold 1/2 each time it doubled. ARKF doubled between March and Nov 2020 and again in Jan 2021 sold 1/2 each time. Remaking shares are back to what I paid for it. Issue is timing when you buy and selling 1/2 every time it doubles. I used same strategy on Amazon and Tesla. Worked over and over. You may not get rich but your returns will always look good. Don’t be greedy.

I lost about 40K with ARKK and ARKW. I was up almost 60%. My (stupid) strat was her 5 years stay in. I finally sold at a loss. I re-worked all my exit strategies after that fiasco. I had about 120K with them that shot up to around 200K. I feel stupid. But it's ok I am on the right sub.
